The Spinners Biography

The Spinners were the greatest soul group of the early '70s,
creating a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of
Philly soul. Ironically, the band's roots lay in Detroit, where they
formed as a doo wop group during the late '50s. Throughout the '60s,
the Spinners tried to land a hit by adapting to the shifting fashions
of R&B and pop. By the mid-'60s, they had signed with Motown
Records, but the label never gave the group much consideration. It's a
Shame became a hit in 1970, but the label continued to ignore the
group, and dropped the band two years later. Unsigned and featuring new
lead singer Phillipe Wynne, the Spinners seemed destined to never break
into the big leagues, but they managed to sign with Atlantic Records,
where they began working with producer Thom Bell. With his assistance,
the Spinners developed a distinctive sound, one that relied on Wynne's
breathtaking falsetto and the group's intricate vocal harmonies. Bell
provided the group with an appropriately detailed production, creating
a detailed web of horns, strings, backing vocals, and lightly funky
rhythms. Between 1972 and 1977, the Spinners and Bell recorded a number
of soul classics, including I'll Be Around, Could It Be I'm Fallin
in Love, Mighty Love, Ghetto Child, Then Came You, Games People
Play, and The Rubberband Man. Wynne left in 1977 and the Spinners
had hits for a few years after his departure, but the group will always
be remembered for its classic mid-'70s work.
Originally, called the Domingoes, the Spinners formed when the quintet
were high school students in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale in 1957. At
the time, the group featured Bobbie Smith, Pervis Jackson, George W.
Dixon, Billy Henderson, and Henry Fambrough. Four years later, they
came to the attention of producer Harvey Fuqua, who began recording the
group -- who were now called the Spinners -- for his Tri-Phi Records.
The band's first single, That's What Girls Are Made For, became a Top
Ten R&B hit upon its 1961 release and featured Smith on vocals.
Following its release, Dixon was replaced by Edgar Chico Edwards.
Over the next few years, the group released a series of failed singles,
and when Tri-Phi was bought out by Motown in the mid-'60s, the Spinners
became part of the larger company's roster. By that time, Edwards had
been replaced by G.C. Cameron.

Though the Spinners had some R&B hits at Motown during the late
'60s, including I'll Always Love You and Truly Yours, they didn't
have a genuine crossover success until 1970, when Stevie Wonder gave
the group It's a Shame. Motown never concentrated on the Spinners,
and they let the group go in 1972. Before the band signed with Atlantic
Records, Phillipe Wynne replaced Cameron as the group's lead vocalist.
Wynne had previously sung with Catfish and Bootsy Collins.

At Atlantic Records, the Spinners worked with producer Thom Bell, who
gave the group a lush, seductive sound, complete with sighing strings,
a tight rhythm section, sultry horns, and a slight funk underpinning.
Wynne quickly emerged as a first-rate soul singer, and the combination
of the group's harmonies, Wynne's soaring leads, and Bell's meticulous
production made the Spinners the most popular soul group of the '70s.
Once the group signed with Atlantic, they became a veritable hit
machine, topping the R&B and pop charts with songs like I'll Be
Around, Could It Be I'm Falling in Love, One of a Kind (Love
Affair), Ghetto Child, Rubberband Man, and You're Throwing a Good
Love Away. Not only were their singles hits, but their albums
constantly went gold and charted in the Top 20.

Wynne left the band to pursue a solo career in 1977; he was replaced by
John Edwards. Though none of Wynne's solo records were big hits, his
tours with Parliament-Funkadelic were well-received, as were his solo
concerts. In October 1984, he died of a heart attack during a concert
in Oakland, CA. The Spinners, meanwhile, had a number of minor hits in
the late '70s, highlighted by their disco covers of Working My Way
Back to You and the medley Cupid/I've Loved You for a Long Time.
During the early '80s, they had several minor hits before fading away
from the charts and entering the oldies circuit, reprising their
earlier material for 1999's new studio effort At Their Best. ~ Stephen
